  • Lalena Lalena

  • whoever this girl was, it's now an image for this song ever on

  • Saw this group live,all I can say is..."WOW"!!!!!

  • You say Lady Gaga, I say The Doors

    You say Hannah Montana, I say The Rolling Stones

    You say Owl City, I say Led Zeppelin

    You say Jonas Brothers, I say The Beatles

    You say Justin Bieber, I say Queen

    You say Taylor Swift, I say AC/DC

    95% of teens these days listen to the same crappy pop over and over again. If you're one of the 5% who still listens to real music, thumb this up, then copy & paste it to at least five videos. Don't let classics die.

  • @francodio1

    Nowadays I belong to the older generation who was very young when Deep Purple came up. A friend of mine had the LP "Deep Purple" and I was drawn to "April" played by Deep Purple. With a -little bit romanticizing- good memory of that music I have pity for the young people of today that they have only the crap it is called music these days.

  • @francodio1 i don't even know who the hell those on the left are

  • Lalena was originally composed by Donovan Leitch, not Deep Purple. This is their cover of his song.

  • Very beautiful !!!

    Un espectacule!!!

    Дуже гарно.

  • beautiful :-)

  • dam.... this is so beautifull.... when he said "can blame ya...."

  • the intro sounds like joe cockers with a little help from my friends.

  • a masterpiece, better than the original, merveillous singing, keyb solo and jazzy drums...

  • esto es sentir...

  • in my opinion the best band of all time...how many facettes a band of 5 people can get...music is communication and everybody who speaks that language in that way is gifted!!! depp purple rocks!!!

  • Любимата песен на патето! Чакам времето да... that's the time You raise your head.

    Come back to me and I'll be happy!

  • Ridiculously good - just how cool is this?

  • @harlekin0263 @harlekin0263 . Ich hatte mal eine verkrazte LP mit Lalena, wieviele Mädels bekamen den Namen Lalena in jener Zeit. Der Text ist wirklich zweitrangig.

    Ich war vor zwei Jahren bei einem Konzert von Deep Purple und wusste im voraus, dass ich dieses Lied nicht hören werde, aber es war trotzdem ein Erlebnis dabei zu sein

  • @dami1622 Ich wünschte, ich hätte eine Chance, dies zu sehen Rockband.

  • und das Cover genial und einmalig!!!

  • I had most of these photos on my wall!

  • cool

  • Does the note Ritchie plays at 0:14 remind anyone of "When A Blind Man Cries."

  • i walk a lone ,stormy weather hand in my pocket, thinkin about you HP,i miss you E

  • Deep Purple kicks everybody's ass! (not Dio he was cool!) PEACE!

  • grazie

  • excellent song and lovely film clip for most part

  • Beautifull

  • the best keyboard solo i'v ever heard

  • great cover, purple nailed it.

  • memory

  • lalena

  • The Hammond solo kicks a major ass!

  • great band , great song, Rock 'n Roll

  • I love Jon's organ.LOL

  • Linda música,linda voz!

  • Wow, one of the first for DP. Love Ian Gillan but there is something about Rods voice. Love the picture of him with the headphones. His hair was so short..lol.. All the songs on this CD are great. Chasing Shadows is phenomenal. Great slide show. Thanks for posting.

  • has anyone notice girls only like bands when they make songs out of girl names .like deep purple april.there is at least 30 girls popping out my name is april.34 girls poping out oh my name is lalena.they most times dont even like the band.i mean who cares if your name is like the one in the song?

  • @robrampy Of course you're going to mention if your name is in a song. It's unusual and a lot of people think it's cool. I've known guys to do it too, if one of their names is in a song. Plenty of people love songs for plenty of other reasons. I'm a girl, but my name is Erin. I love Deep Purple. I also love Donovan Leitch who did this song originally. This is actually the first time I've heard the Deep Purple version. :)

  • tu comentario es machista y desagradable, por otro lado el tema "april" no se refiere a un nombre de mujer, sino al mes, como surge de los comentarios hechos por la banda, en el propio disco...

  • @esperandoelcarnaval look i know april is reffered to the month,and its not my problem ,you dont know how to read,i refered as girls popping out like a damn virus ,saying they are named april or lalena,who gives a godman fuck?all we care is about this great song,i really apreciate you really stop replying .

  • @esperandoelcarnaval if my comment is something you dont find good.maybe others did,thats why they gave me thumbs up,dont you think,by the way learn to read ok.

  • @robrampy , me faltó aclarar que el comentario anterior iba en respuesta al tuyo

  • muuuuuito bom ! obrigado!

  • superbe song....

  • as usual Lord rules...

    beautyfull jazzy organ playing....so tastefull

  • great album!!!!!!!!!

  • qualitative music...

  • I was 15 in '71 when I first listened while skipping school at a neighbors. Its one of those songs, hidden in an album that put me in a mood. Thanks dami.

  • Listen to this on Halloween Eve. Not only the very best quality rock band- but a well written song by Donovan. To all you Goth chickies out there. Greetings out of La Costa...

  • just one word to define this song: awesome

  • Memory aah beaty 70s girls. drinks. time.

    and of course music

  • super nummer!!!!

  • I AM fanat deep purple!!!!!!

    Me encanta lo que hace blackmore a partir del minuto 4:28, se escucha mucho

    sentimiento en esa guitarra.

  • oooh, la legna!

  • it sings as in Jesus Superstar

  • suck a polar bears funky asshole with a-1 steak sauce

  • LOOOOOOL!!!

    :D

  • Rod where are you??? You had an amazing bluesy voice.

  • Lalena from Donovan! but this version is the best due vocals, drums and jazzy organ solo...

  • Absolutely amazing. One of favourites.

  • beautuful song, cover and video. thanks

  • שיר מדהים!!! מלווה אותי מילדותי.

  • I like Rod Evans most of all Deep Purple singers.

  • what the?!!!!!!!!

  • You got that right........!!!

  • Has Ian Gillan sang any of these older songs when he joined Deep Purple. Would be kind of weird back in 1969 after they hire him to replace Rod Evans and NOT expect him to sing what they were well known for at that time. I would like to see Ian Gillan try to pull off any of the Rod Evan's stuff.

  • good question...i will search for it

  • There are some songs on the ultimate collection of Ian Gillan singing in 1969.

  • Didn't he sing "Hush"?

  • That is true both Ian Gillan and Rod Evans sand Hush. I would like to have heard Ian Gillan sang the whole of the Book of Taliesyn and Deep Purple albums though.

  • i love this song nd interesting pictues i loved it thnx u 4 posting it

  • etbrain,in that piece, hurdy gurdy man guess who is behinded, jimmy page and jhon poul jhons.agree with you, great song!!!!!

  • Donovan Leitch will never be forget! I didn't remember when Deep Purple recorded this, but it's great! Donovan was one of the best '60s composer, and just to you have an idea, I order 2 weeks ago his album Mellow Yellow (I had it on vinyl back then, but it's gone) and it's just Beautiful, It's still fresh as it was in the mid sixties! Pay attention to the "Hurdy Gurdy Man", guys!

    Love to you all, people!

    Thanks ET.

  • Ian Gillan was asked if he had to change his singing voice for any former Deep Purple singer, whom woul it be? His answer...Rod Evans. That says it all. Maybe Rod was not as histronic as his successors, but his voice resonated with passion and emotion. His true masterpiece was to come however...Captain Beyond.

  • as much as I admire Donovan , this is a better version

  • yes. its a brilliant album, i have it on CD.

  • fameux deep purple i like you ever, best song ti amo deep purple per sempre you is an very legend rock deep puple thank  PEACE LOVE ROCK ..............................­...beautiful ballad memory (for you)

    The girl at 3.34 is really really beautiful!

    By the way, has anyone noticed this song is dedicated to a prostitute?

  • Like..Strange Kind Of Woman.

  • Reallyyy?!

  • What exactly is your problem, why did you send that to me?

  • i just didnt know about that man!

  • Wow, Jon Lord's keyboard solo really makes this song what it is. so mellow. thanks for posting

  • yes...but keyboards without voice..is like summer without sun...

  • when you love you can't blame a person for nothing. Lalena, I can't blame you...

  • I may blame them for something - but you're right, she can do no wrong. PEACE
